I graduated from NMU in 2002 with a B.S. in History with minors in Anthropology and Native American Studies. I am working on filling in the gaps for my Social Studies major while earning my Secondary Education Certification. I am a tree hugger which means caring for the earth is a top priority in our household. I cloth diaper, can, make my own cleaning and personal care products and purchase as many organic/non-GMO products as I can. I love to garden, sew, quilt, and read. I love music that includes banjos and fiddles and talk with my hands. . . a lot. I can not live without chocolate, hot tea or red wine. I still am not sure why anyone decided to make white wine. I am not much of a techie, but am lucky enough to have married one. Hopefully, for the sake of my grade, I have absorbed some of his knowledge through proximity.

A Bit About my Family
My husband, Collins, and I just celebrated our tenth anniversary on Friday the Thirteenth. Since we survived that, I believe our marriage can survive anything. . . even a Monsanto induced Zombie apocalypse. Collins is a graphic and website designer and owns his own business, [|Designbot]. We have three children - Parker (10), Amelia (7) and Simon (almost 2). We are a Northern Michigan family through and through and love to spend the summers camping and our winters snowboarding. When I say we love to snowboard, I mean my husband and kids love to snowboard. I love them leaving me in a nice, quiet house to do any of the previously mentioned favorite activities.
